1 And it came to pass after these things that God had tried Abraham and said to him, “Abraham”. And he said, “Here I am.” 2 And He said, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I spoke to you.” 3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rose and goes to the place of which God had spoken to him. 4 On the third day—Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place from afar. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth will go over there and worship, and return to you.” 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and placed it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire, and the knife. And they go on both of them together. 7 And Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, and where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?” 8 And Abraham said, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”. And they go on both of them together. 9 And they came to the place of which God had spoken to him, and there Abraham built the altar, and arranged the wood, and bind his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar above the wood. 10 And Abraham puts out his hand, and took the knife—to slaughter his son. 11 And the Messenger of YHWH called to him from the heavens and said, “Abraham, Abraham”. And he said, “Here I am”. 12 And He said, “Do not put out your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.” 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and look, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham goes, and took the ram, and causes it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead of his son. 14 and Abraham called the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it was said that day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.” 15 And the Messenger of YHWH called to Abraham a second time from the heavens, 16 and said, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, 17 that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which is on the seashore. And your Seed possess the gate of His enemies. 18 And all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened to My voice.” 19 And Abraham turned back to his young men, and they rose and go together to Beer-Sheba. And Abraham stayed in Beer-Sheba. 20 And it came to pass after these things that it was declared to Abraham, saying, “Look, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your brother Nahor: 21 his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel father of Aram, 22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel has begotten Rebekah”. Milcah has borne these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also had borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
